Along similar lines--does anyone have experience with Hydrangea 'All Summer
Beauty'? One of the most annoying things I've learned in recent years is
that the flower buds on my hydrangea macrophyllas get blasted off in the
early spring unless I wrap them in burlap. H. arborescens is no problem
because it blooms on new wood, and for that I'm grateful, but I'm always
looking for color. Supposedly 'All Summer Beauty' blooms on new wood (I
think, in addition to old wood), and I was wondering if this is really true.
Thanks,
